In the Kingdom of Wind, inside a large sand dune that was once Orochimaru's secret base, a very spacious laboratory was built after the tunnels were widened.
The top of the rock blocks the harsh sunlight during the day and the cold night wind. Tens of meters deep underground, there is an underground river with abundant water flowing through it.
If this area were fully developed, it would be enough to establish a desert oasis settlement.
Unfortunately, the poor Wind Country does not have the ability to fully develop the land with potential.
In the inaccessible laboratory, Orochimaru originally thought of staying a little longer, waiting for the storm to subside, or after the pursuing Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara gave up, before going to the southern base to have a look.
The Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara are also very persistent people. The more difficult they are to deal with like Orochimaru, the more they arouse their competitiveness.
Orochimaru, who couldn't avoid it, had no choice but to come forward. After a fierce battle with the Red Sand Scorpion, he was temporarily defeated.
It's not that I'm really afraid of Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion, but that in the process of using the Kazekage Sandaime's dirty earth body, he failed to fight with the human puppet made from his corpse, which finally triggered the forbidden art: dirty earth reincarnation. The defects allow the soul of the deceased to be liberated in advance and return to the pure land.
This accident also made Orochimaru realize that the dirty earth body combat power he was so proud of was not so reliable.
Unwilling to fight, Orochimaru left in a hurry, and the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara, who had fought fiercely, no longer pursued him.
"Let's go..."
"Where are you going, Brother Scorpion, keep chasing?"
"No, go to the Country of Fire. Several intelligence points have been stolen. I'm going to find out who did it."
"Does such a trivial matter require Brother Xie to go in person?"
“Be prepared.”
The Red Sand Scorpion said, looked at the direction Orochimaru fled, and walked towards the east without looking back.
…
At the same time, a group of "consumables" abandoned by Orochimaru in Tian Country were still killing each other in an orderly manner.
The strong men who climbed out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood were not ordinary people.
Now that the owner of this place is away and his assistant Yakushi Kabuto has returned to Konoha Village, Guren and others who were once marginal figures have become the most authoritative people.
】
In addition, Jirobo, Kidomaru, Tayuya and Sakon Ukon are the strongest people trained after "Raising Gu". Under them, there are only those who have acceptable strength and good popularity, but are extremely unlucky. It's so good.
The flowing blue-white hair and handsome and elegant face of the past no longer exist, and today's Feng Molan is not much different from other surviving "consumables".
He has messy hair that has been hastily trimmed with kunai, sharp eyes that are slightly squinted with a cold glow, and a ferocious scar on the right side of his neck that is mostly covered by his collar. He doesn't look very strong, but is actually very powerful. The body contains extremely terrifying explosive power.
Others were afraid of them and respectfully called them the "Five Sound Ninjas". However, some people felt that Arashi's strength was still a bit lacking. In the head-on conflict with the other four, he had never won a single victory.
In fact, not many people were able to save their lives under Kidomaru, Tayuya, Jirobo and Sakon Ukon. Fuma Arashi's ability to survive smoothly to this day also proves that this person is also very powerful.
After secretly conducting many blood sacrifices, the degree of unblocking of the "wedge" in Feng Molan's body was greatly improved, which also made his basic quality far higher than before.
In order to cover up the strange situation of excessive surge in strength and not attract the attention of Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, Fuma Arashi even had to save some strength in regular duels to prevent his opponent from dying too quickly and causing unnecessary trouble.
Now it seems that Fuumalan's caution is very valuable. Until now, Yakushi Kabuto and Orochimaru have not discovered that their subordinates are actually influencing a quite threatening spy.
"Hey, Lan, what's the matter with you? It's taken you so long to deal with several wastes. If you are parallel to us in the future, don't hold yourself back."
The grumpy Tayuya was dissatisfied and yelled at Fuma Arashi,
"Follow me quickly, it's almost time to eat."
When it comes to eating, they have lived in seclusion and underground for a long time, and their biological clocks have long been disrupted. They don't know whether it is day or night, or whether they are about to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner.
There are several people known as the Five Sound Ninjas. Sakon and Ukon are mentally ill lunatics, Kidomaru has many hands and legs, is cruel and murderous, and has an ugly appearance. Jirobo is very fat. Apart from his weight and natural power, he has nothing to gain. Gotta get something done.
Tayuya is one of the rare female vocal ninjas who has fought his way from the bottom to the top. At the age of twelve, his spirit is extremely precocious.
If he didn't have this ability, he probably wouldn't be alive today.
As for why there is such a saying as "the five sound ninjas", do you really think that children who have never gone to school are stupid?
They have seen a lot of killing and death over the years, and the five of them have almost figured out their respective strengths.
There may be differences in strength between individuals, but in a real fight, it's really hard to say who will live and who will die.
Instead of dealing with experts of similar strength, it would be better for five people to join forces and kill the others to pieces.
The strong stick together and abuse the weak. This is a life-saving trick that survivors in such a cruel place will naturally understand.
Originally, there should be nothing wrong with Feng Molan, but in recent months, his strength seems to have improved greatly. Although he will not be able to pose a fatal threat to the other four for a while, he should not be underestimated.
Since he has such ability, he will naturally be attracted as a "material that can be made".
Thus, the Four Sound Ninjas became the Five Sound Ninjas.
In the absence of Kaguya Kimimaro, the absolute leader, there are still people to fill the vacant position.
Fuma Arashi wiped the blood on his hands with a rag he cut from somewhere, and said to Tayuya nonchalantly:
"It's not that I'm slow, it's that you are too fast. Moreover, there seem to be a lot fewer unlucky ones thrown in this month, and their strength is also very weak..."
"Why do you care so much? Just kill all these unlucky guys!"
Although Tayuya's attitude towards Fuma Arashi is not very good, there is a contrast. Her tone towards others is even more irritable. There was only one reason for her to do this.
Fuma Arashi is the only one among the five Genin Ninjas who looks relatively handsome.
Even among the entire base, the only one with decent strength and good looks is Feng Molan.
Handsome boys are naturally more likely to be favored by young girls.
Facing the playful gazes of Jirobo, Kidomaru, and Sakon Ukon, Fuma Arashi shrugged, and Tayuya walked at the front and stepped out of the cage door.
For ordinary "consumables", the range of activities is extremely limited, and if you cross the line, you will die.
The five sound ninjas were different.
To a certain extent, they have passed the assessment and been promoted from "ordinary consumables" to "advanced tool people".
Theoretically, all five Sound Ninjas may be chosen by Orochimaru as soul-turning vessels.
Not far away, Hong Lian, who had been managing the base on his behalf, coldly watched several people walk out of the hellish death-match cage with his arms crossed.
"A bunch of trash can actually do so many things."
Kidomaru, who was originally indifferent on the opposite side, seemed to hear Guren's whisper, glanced dissatisfied, and finally suppressed his anger and walked over without saying a word.
Feng Molan, who has long been accustomed to this kind of atmosphere, whispered:
"Do you also want to teach that stupid woman a lesson?"
"also?"
Kidomaru couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and other people nearby snorted thoughtfully.
"We are all the same. Honglian is just one step ahead of us. Why do you look down on the latecomers so much?"
"It's all the same, don't laugh at anyone."
Kidomaru sneered playfully,
"Those idiots on the other side probably think of us the same way. They're called Toss Anvil. They pretend to be very respectful, but they don't hide their unruly thoughts. They're not as good as those blabbermouths." Sac Stirrup is smart."
"Isn't this how everyone... came here?"
Fumaran responded naturally, and Ukon, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said:
"There are some people who are not, such as me and Guren."
"Because of the blood inheritance limit?"
"certainly."
Ukon proudly confirmed Fumaran's guess,
"Unlike those abilities that have been modified and transplanted, what Orochimaru-sama is interested in is the innate ability in the blood."
"Shut up, it's amazing to have blood inheritance limits? If you weren't two brothers, always bullying the younger ones, I'm afraid you wouldn't be alive now."
Tayu said angrily,
"By the way, Lan, when will you be implanted with the curse seal?"
"It's hard to say, Lord Orochimaru seems to be very busy and has not been able to take care of me for the time being."
Now Orochimaru is being hunted all over the world. Not only the ANBU of Konoha Village, the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara, but also Jiraiya who has been inquiring about the news. As long as he hears any clues, he will come forward as soon as possible. Come and fight.
If opponents of the same level were not too difficult to deal with, Orochimaru would not have been so passive during this period.
"With your strength, you are already qualified. You should be able to do it in a while. By then, the five people will be worthy of their name."
Under normal conditions, Feng Molan's strength was similar to that of the other four.
However, once the curse seal was opened, Feng Molan was a bit unsatisfied.
Although the Seal Chakra is a much weakened Senjutsu Chakra, it still has a strong blessing on ninjas.
Five people?
Feng Molan smiled and said nothing.
If it weren't for the lack of confidence, these guys who had their own evil intentions would have been sacrificed to blood long ago.
The brothers and sisters of the same race who had followed Orochimaru with him all died violently, and he was the only one who was still alive. If it weren't for revenge and to meet his compatriots outside, Fuma Lan would have been unable to hold on.
If it weren't for the young family governor Gu Shan still needing him to be an undercover agent in a place like this, Feng Molan would have tried to kill him.
…
In Konoha Village, Mizuki divided a large number of precious medicinal materials into two batches, one part was hidden in the garden hut on the back hill, and the other part was placed in Orochimaru's abandoned laboratory.
After getting this batch of good things from Gusugi Bosui that could make him stronger quickly, he followed the team back to Konoha Village and has been learning the basics of medical ninjutsu and preparing forbidden potions.
Unfortunately, no matter how secretive Mizuki is, some things cannot be hidden from people he knows well.
My girlfriend Xiao Chun, who was about to talk about marriage, discovered something was wrong with her boyfriend.
He is mysterious and reclusive. Once asked, he will either ignore him or get angry and refuse to mention him.
Mizuki's performance gave Xiaochun some bad premonitions.
Even so, as a girlfriend, she did not report to the village or complain to her friends. Instead, she stayed with Mizuki silently, hoping that he would not do anything stupid.
Togakushi Hinode, who got some information from Fusugi Fusui, looked through the information of his colleague Mizuki, who is also a ninja school teacher, several times, and landed on the one "suspected to be related to Orochimaru" .
Togakushi Hinode, who had been pondering for a long time but couldn't find a way to break the situation, couldn't help but sigh.
My young master's request is actually not complicated.
First of all, Mizuki must not die. This person will have a key influence on the future Uzumaki Naruto and cannot be ignored.
Secondly, do not interfere too much in their pursuit of power. If there is a possibility that the Leaf Village will find out about it, help cover it up or clean up the mess in advance.
Finally, when he uses the promotion potion and wants to do evil, or when side effects occur and his life is in danger, he must prevent the worst outcome from happening.
After looking over it several times, Togakushi Hinode only saw the word "maintain the status quo" from the order.
To put it bluntly, Gushan Bushui felt that the existence of Shuimu was very important. Once he took an action that would seriously affect the stable situation, it would not be good for everyone.
It's not that Mizuki is so great, but that he is too close to Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke and others, and can easily have a major impact on their futures.
"It's not difficult, it just requires time and energy to keep a close eye on it. 』
After burning the orders from Kosugi Bosui and the information that was not suitable for outsiders to know, and rushing into the sewer, Togakushi Hinode felt relieved, collected his emotions, and prepared to go to work.
It is not an easy task to teach those naughty children. Not everyone is as patient as Umino Yinluka.
A few hundred meters away, the third generation of the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked over the roster of the graduating class of the Ninja School several times, but he was still a little unsure.
"It's difficult!"
In half a year, Shiro is about to graduate. He spent a lot of money to sign a commissioned education agreement with the daimyo. It is not just for Shiro, a genius, but there is no doubt that Mu is the key to making Sarutobi Hiruzen make up his mind. it's him.
Now, the goal has been achieved, but his teammates have not yet been completely determined, so that's it. The most important teacher who leads the team has not been selected for a long time.
In the entire Konoha Village, there is no one who is good at ice escape. After the death of the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama, even the masters who are good at water escape have stopped.
After going through the profiles of several young masters and senior jounin, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally narrowed down on a few people including Hatake Kakashi, Shiroun Yeshan, and Yamanaka Haiichi.
